Victory over his video foe
He shows with a fist-pump and upraised arms;
No vanity intended in this show
Just part of his beloved childish charm.
His efforts to say his “R’s” is the same -
A heroic effort to say them clear;
In it an innocent flush but no shame
A fearless try that can only endear.
Not long for this world is his innocence,
I know, the evidence starts to surface
Of the class bully he tries to make sense,
Is this play fun or is it coercive?
Why does the world steal the boy’s trusting smile,
A little boy in whom there is no guile?September 2013
